1866 Adventures Alice Carroll Drawn Fantasy Flamingoes Illustrations Lewis Misbehaving Under Ground Wonderland
EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the whimsical world of Lewis Carroll's "Alices Adventures Underground," a precursor to the beloved tale of "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland," published in 1866. This hand-drawn illustration depicts a scene from the story, where Alice participates in a bizarre croquet game with the Queen of Hearts and various peculiar characters. The Queen, wearing her distinctive red and white checkered dress, demands Alice to play a game of croquet using hedgehogs as balls, flamingos as mallets, and playing cards as hoops. The misbehaving flamingos, with their long pink legs and wild expressions, add a touch of chaos to the already absurd scene. The King of Hearts, with his scepter and crown, looks on with amusement. Lewis Carroll's intricate and imaginative illustrations bring this historical fantasy to life, showcasing the unique blend of logic and nonsense that has captivated readers for generations. This image is a testament to the enduring appeal of Carroll's work and the timeless allure of Alice's adventures in Wonderland. Hand-drawn by the author himself, this illustration is a rare glimpse into the creative mind of Lewis Carroll and an invaluable piece of literary history. The intricate details, from the Queen's stern expression to the quirky behavior of the flamingoes, transport us to a world where the impossible becomes possible and the ordinary becomes extraordinary.
